Liverpool’s pursuit of Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez has hit a snag, as SerieA giants Juventus are reportedly pushing to sign the defender.
The Reds are eager to strengthen their left-back position, with Andrew Robertson’s form dipping this season.
Kerkez’s Impressive Form
The 21-year-old Hungarian has been impressive for Bournemouth, registering a phenomenal assist for Marcus Tavernier during their 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur.
His pace, skill, and vision down the left flank have caught the attention of top clubs, including Liverpool and Juventus.
Juventus’ Interest in Kerkez
According to Sky Sports Switzerland, Juventus are keen to sign Kerkez as a replacement for Andrea Cambiaso, who is reportedly Manchester City-bound.

The Italian giants are known for their shrewd transfer dealings, and securing Kerkez’s signature would be a significant coup.
Liverpool’s Transfer Priorities
While signing a new left-back is a priority for Liverpool, the club faces a busy summer transfer window.
With striker Darwin Nunez likely to leave, and Diogo Jota’s performances under scrutiny, signing a new striker may take precedence.
Additionally, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk are all out of contract at the end of the season, and securing their futures will be a top priority.
Will Liverpool Secure Kerkez’s Signature?
With Juventus pushing to sign Kerkez, Liverpool faces stiff competition for the defender’s signature.
While Kerkez would be an excellent addition to Liverpool’s squad, the club’s transfer priorities may mean that signing a new left-back takes a backseat.
Only time will tell if Liverpool can secure Kerkez’s signature ahead of Juventus.
